Info

A. Eligible Costs Direct project-related costs incurred during the project performance period specified in the Grant Agreement will be eligible for reimbursement. All eligible costs must be supported by appropriate documentation. Costs incurred outside of the performance period are not eligible for reimbursement. Indirect/overhead costs are not eligible for reimbursement (see page 46 for definition of overhead costs). The project scope (i.e., the activities to be completed using either 100% grant funds or a combination of grant funds and matching funds) must meet the eligibility requirements. However, grant funds need not fund all activities used to meet eligibility requirements. B. Payment of Grant Funds Funds cannot be disbursed until there is a fully-executed Grant Agreement between the State and the Grantee. Funds for construction/implementation cannot be disbursed until CEQA is completed. Development projects • Payments will be made on a reimbursement basis (i.e., the grantee pays for services, products or supplies, submits invoices and proof of payment and is then reimbursed by the State). It generally takes 4-6 weeks to receive payment once a complete Payment Request is submitted. • Ten percent (10%) of the amounts submitted for reimbursement may be withheld and issued as a final payment upon project completion. Acquisition projects • State-approved purchase price, together with eligible acquisition costs, may be advanced into an escrow account within 60 days of close of escrow. All disbursements may be subject to a ten percent (10%) retention, withheld at the sole discretion of the State. • The remainder of the Grant, if any, shall be available on a reimbursable basis for other eligible project costs. C. Site Visits The State may make periodic visits to the project site, including a final inspection. The State will determine if the work is consistent with the approved project scope and ensure compliance with signage requirements. 4
D. Loss of Funding (not a complete list) The following are examples of actions that may result in a grantee’s loss of funding: • Grantee fails to execute a grant agreement. • Grantee withdraws from the grant program. • Property cannot be acquired at approved fair market value. • Grantee loses willing seller(s). • Grantee fails to submit required documentation within the time periods specified in the grant agreement. • Grantee fails to submit evidence of CEQA compliance as specified by the grant agreement. • Grantee changes project scope without prior approval from the State. • Grantee fails to complete the project. • Grantee fails to demonstrate sufficient progress. 5
